Liz Earle Eyebright™ Soothing Eye Lotion

Liz Earle Eyebright™ Soothing Eye Lotion
Approx price: £10.25

Worked quite well as an eye make up remover, I didn't have any problems taking anything off.
Can also be used as a soothing eye mask, if you coat a cotton wool pad the rest it on the eyes 5-10 mins.  This is the part I was most excited about trying, but it didn't seem to have any actual benefit when I used it.  I have heard it most effective if you put the bottle in the fridge before using it as an eye mask.
Nice smell and nice natural ingredients, but unfortunately the bottle seemed to run out very quickly... maybe due to the fact I felt I had to completely soak each cotton pad to get the best out of it?

Denman Shower Brush

Denman Shower Brush
Approx price: £3.69

This is basically a round piece of plastic with prongs that fits onto your hand and is used in the shower to apply shampoo evenly, or evenly applies products while styling.
I was very excited about this and thought I would get a great massage out of it, but had a few problems.  I wasn't quite sure how it worked, so while the top of my head had foamy shampoo on it, the lengths were just left hanging.  I didn't feel massaged at all, it felt a lot smaller once I actually had it on my head.  I also had a really sore arm after just a couple of minutes.
Bit of a disappointment for me, so I may pass it on to my boyfriend to try when applying wax.

Marilyn Monroe by MAC

My delivery of Marilyn Monroe by MAC cosmetics arrived today, and I am so excited to try them all out!!


I may have gone a bit overboard and ordered too much, but after reading numerous complaints on the MAC Facebook page about the collection selling out, I just bought all the things I liked without thinking twice so i didn't miss out!

Here is what I bought:
Marily Monroe Nail Laquer in Vintage Vamp
(Rich deep retro wine)
£11.00

Marilyn Monroe Lip Pencil in Beet
(Vivid reddish pink)
£12.50

Marilyn Monroe Penultimate Eye Liner
(Black)
£16.00

Marilyn Monroe Lipstick in Scarlet Ibis
(Bright orange red)
£15.50

Marilyn Monroe Powder Blush in Legendary
(Pale soft coral)
£19.00

Marilyn Monroe Beauty Powder in Forever Marilyn
(Sheer pale peach highlighter)
£23.50

I'm going to have to live on a budget for the rest of the month after buying all that, but I'm glad I went for it because a number of the items I bought are already sold out!
I look forward to trying them all out over the next couple of weeks, now all I need to do is dye my hair blonde to go with it!
